THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Cybele's Restaurant Review

: An Allentown institution, Cybeles (pronounced sibble-ease) recently moved about 100 feet into a spacious location, almost every inch of which is covered by local painter Peter Fowlers dynamic brushwork. Mismatched tables and chairs add to the overall impression of an eccentric establishment. The food emphasizes healthy and fresh ingredients, three meals a day. Buffalo eggplant wings and Thai veggie fritters make good appetizers, along with the ever-changing special salads. On our last visit, the special board featured field greens with red cabbage, raisins, mango, pineapple, a curried vinaigrette, and fresh raspberries. Spicy, herbed entrées are common, including our favorite, ropa vieja: slow cooked beef with chipotle chilies and tequila, homemade tortillas, and beans and rice. Cybeles healthy streak does not mean you cant get bacon or eggs Benedict for breakfast. They can be had as well as, for the adventurous or indecisive, the Cooks Choice omelet. Service has been known to occasionally frustrate anxious or hurried customers, but for the rest, a wait can be a pleasant part of a good meal.
